Rebellion
in Patagonia- Film show followed by discussion
Workers in Patagonia, influenced by
anarchist ideas, demand improvements in pay and conditions. After employers at
first agree to workers’ demands, which are supported by workers in other
sectors and areas, the regional governor, under pressure from local employers,
orders the paramilitary police to intervene to crush the movement. In
response a general strike is declared, paralyzing the ports and wool production
for export. The government backs the landowners, and soldiers are brought
in to crush the strike.This dramatised account of the events directed in 1974
by Hector Olivera was banned by the Videla dictatorship in Argentina. Meeting
convened by London Anarchist Communist group. Free.
